Pitch fees for park homes
What is a pitch fee?
A pitch fee is a charge you must pay regularly to the site owner if you own a park home. It covers your right to keep your park home on the site, maintenance of the site, and use of shared areas such as roads and paths.
The services that are included in the pitch fee will be set out in your pitch agreement. Utilities are usually billed separately, unless your agreement specifically says that they’re included.
Your site owner can only increase your pitch fee once a year, and only if you agree to the increase, or if they get a decision (determination) from a tribunal. The increase is usually no more than inflation.
Your pitch agreement should say:
- how much the pitch fee was when the agreement was first signed (it may have increased since then)
- when you must pay – usually monthly, but sometimes quarterly or once a year
- when it can be increased (the annual review date)
- what services are included
- how the pitch fee is to be reviewed – there are standard rules that are part of the “implied terms” that must apply to all pitch agreements
The cost of pitch fees varies between sites, depending on their location, size and facilities. It’s typically around £150 to £300 a month, but it can be higher.
Pitch fees might also vary between different pitches on the same site. For example, it can depend on the size and location of the pitch, or newer pitch agreements might have different fees from older ones.
Sometimes people use the term “ground rent” instead of “pitch fee”. But a park home pitch fee is different from the ground rent that’s charged for a leasehold property.
